His blog post is a worthy read, but what really caught my attention was in the last paragraph—the simple statement that he is:

“using Fuse as a means to explore how a larger, more owner-controlled Internet of Things experience could be supported”

I’m intrigued by this concept, and feel it reflects my mission with API Evangelist, where I’m looking to create not just a more educated and informed API providers and consumers, but also a more knowledgable, and empowered end-user.

The concept of a owner-controlled Internet of Things experience is something I will be keeping an eye on as I continue to be inundated with Internet of Things API stories. My goal is to better understand how IoT devices are being designed, and deployed, then provide some assistance in how we can ensure platforms lean towards a more “owner-controlled experience”.
